If you already understand cascading, skip this introduction and proceed to the
procedural sections.
Cascading refers to the multiple connections of slave or secondary devices to
a primary KVM for as many allowable tiers or hierarchies. For example, a 2-
tier, cascaded configuration can have secondary KVM units connected to a
primary KVM. The diagram below shows a basic cascaded configuration of a
primary KVM 32 with all KVM components.
Using the KVM 32, 32 primary KVM units or switches can be cascaded for a
total of up to 32 units (regardless of how many times they are cascaded). A 2-
user configuration can control up to 512 servers; a single user, up to 1024
servers (
i.e
., from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console, either locally or
remotely through the ethernet LAN).
To add a secondary KVM to be cascaded to a master KVM:
IMPORTANT
:
When physically cascading with only one user, ensure that the
CAT-5 cable is connected to
USER 2
of the secondary KVM switch since
connecting a CAT-5 single user to
USER 1
will not work.
In the KVM Expander,
User 1
is
User A
;
User 2
is
User B
.
